Energy Efficiency Labeling and Standard
The program mandates Energy Efficiency Labelling and Standard of commonly used products that consume large amount of energy. This is to accelerate development of energy efficiency technology and encourage consumers to purchase energy saving products. The program, which started in 1992, mandates energy efficiency rating labelling of the target products. The efficiency rating range is based on 5 increasing levels (1~5) from the less energy consuming product (level 1) to the highest one (level 5). The production and sales of products that do not meet the minimum energy performance standards is banned. Targets of the program are manufacturers and importers…
